Biography
Birth
- Jerusha Fenno was born at Milton, Massachusetts, on 20 Apr 1713, the daughter of Benjamin Fenno and Mary (Belcher) Fenno.[1]
Marriage
- Jerusha Fenno married Thomas Harris.[2] The marriage occurred before the birth of their first recorded child, at Dorchester on 4 Mar 1742/43.[3] Her daughters Jerusha Harris and Hannah Harris are named as his granddaughters in Benjamin Fenno's will.[4]
Death
- Jerusha (Fenno) Harris died at Dorchester, Massachusetts, on 21 Oct 1744.[5]
Research Note
The most promising person for the Thomas Harris who married Jerusha Fenno would seem to be Thomas Harris, whose Wikitree profile says (without reference to a source) was born before 1713 at Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Thomas Harris, presumably the widower of Jerusha (Fenno) Harris, remarried on 22 Aug 1745, to Lucy Peirce of Watertown.[6]
